ABSTRACT
The author assumes that the higher orders are excluded by “the universe,” because they would rule out integer solutions according to the Fermat principle. It is important to note that neither Einstein nor Hilbert were able to give a proper explanation for the appearance of matter and so they had to postulate it, which they did by the introduction of the energy momentum tensor, respectively, its Lagrange equivalent in the variation. For instance, by filling the universe with harmonic oscillators in all three spatial dimensions, one might not only obtain inhabitable space but also additional imaginary coordinates, which already—somehow—might present time. As with the one-dimensional case, the space, even though mathematically already “in existence,” which is to say defined and placed, even calculated with and physically manifested as a harmonic oscillator, provides no proper distances as long as no energy is added into it.
